“…The enhancement of serum GLU concentration could be due to the improvement of probiotics that produce nutrients and growth factors that are stimulatory to beneficial microorganisms of the gut microbiota. However, in contrast to our results, Ibrahim reported that GLU was not affected by probiotics supplementation ( 25 ). Another report by Ahmed pointed that GLU was significantly lowered on the 30th day in the probiotic ( B. subtilis ) supplementation group of growing Barki lambs ( 26 ).…”

This study aims to investigate the effects of probiotics and Chinese medicine polysaccharides (CMPs) on growth performance, blood indices, rumen fermentation, and bacteria composition in lambs. Forty female lambs were randomly divided into four groups as follows: control, probiotics, CMP, and compound (probiotics + CMP) groups. The results showed that probiotics treatment increased the concentrations of blood glucose (GLU) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) and enhanced rumen microbial protein contents but declined the value of pH in rumen fluid compared with the control (P < 0.05). Furthermore, supplementation with CMP enhanced the average daily gain (ADG) and the contents of IgA, IgG, and IgM in the serum but decreased the F:G ratio compared with the control (P < 0.05). Besides, both CMP and compound (probiotics + CMP) treatments decreased the ratio of acetic acid and propionic acid compared with the control (P < 0.05). High-throughput sequencing data showed that at the genus level, the relative abundance of Veillonellaceae_UCG-001 in the probiotics group was increased, the relative abundance of Succiniclasticum and norank_f__Muribaculaceae in the CMP group were enhanced, and the relative abundance of Ruminococcaceae_UCG-002 in the compound group was raised compared with the control (P < 0.05). In summary, supplementation with probiotics can promote rumen protein fermentation but decrease the diversity of bacteria in rumen fluid; however, CMP treatment increased the relative abundance of Fibrobacteria, changed rumen microbial fermentation mode, increased the immune function, and ultimately improved the growth performance.

“…Probiotic supplementation in powder or liquid form increased in vitro DM digestibility, nutrient digestibility and daily BWG for lambs (Hassan et al, 2019). Khattab et al (2020) reported that supplementing sheep fed with Atriplex hay-based feeds with probiotic bacteria played a role in improving weaning weight, average BWG and the health status of the lambs. Tekce et al (2021) investigated the effects of various levels of probiotics, yeast and mixtures on fattening performance, visceral weights and meat quality of Anatolian Merino lambs, and found that BW and BWG were affected statistically by the treatments.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Lactobacillus farciminis on growth traits and antioxidant status in preweaning and postweaning Tuj lambs. Twenty lambs were divided into four groups, regardless of gender, with a mean live weight of 7.81 ± 0.50 kg. At the start of the experiment, the average age of the lambs was seven days. During the six-week preweaning period, control (C) lambs were fed with colostrum only, and Lactobacillus farciminis was given orally to the treated lambs at 1 g/day/lamb (L1), 2 g/day/lamb (L2) or 4 g/day/lamb (L3). The experiment continued for a total of 22 weeks. During the first six weeks, bodyweight (BW) increased significantly in L1 at the sixth week. Also during this period, bodyweight gain (BWG) in L2 at 2 - 3 weeks and in L3 at 5 - 6 weeks differed from C. In the subsequent period, BW and BWG were not affected by probiotic supplementation. The effects of probiotic supplementation on malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and catalase (CAT) were significant throughout the experiment, with the effect on glutathione (GSH) also being important in the first six weeks. Thus, Lactobacillus farciminis provided orally to Tuj breed lambs could be used to improve their antioxidant status without compromising growth.

“…On their part, Khattab et al (2020) added 2 g Saccharomyces cerevisiae + 2 g Bacillus subtilis + 1 g Lactobacillus Casei/Kg food/day to the diet of Barki sheep at the gestation stage, recording an increase in dry matter intake, organic matter, crude protein, and neutral detergent fiber. Additionally, an increase in the concentration of ruminal Ammonia-N and blood urea nitrogen; an increase in both the weaning weight and the average daily weight; a decrease in lipids and total triglycerides, and finally an improvement in health status in the lambs.…”

Saccharomyces cerevisiae como alternativa de reemplazo a los antibióticos promotores de crecimiento en alimentación animal

El presente trabajo de revisión bibliográfica, exhibe el mecanismo de acción, modo de empleo, dosis utilizadas y beneficios demostrados por Saccharomyces cerevisiae en animales de producción comercial. Varios estudios demuestran que la levadura se utiliza en diferentes dosis y concentraciones como cultivo (probiótico) o sus paredes celulares (prebiótico), atribuyendo impacto positivo de S. cerevisiae sobre los parámetros productivos y reproductivos de los animales, incremento en la digestibilidad de nutrientes, mejoras sobre las variables de morfometria intestinal, regulación del pH ruminal, modulación de la población microbiana, beneficios en el sistema inmunológico, disminución en la concentración de amoniaco, entre otros; no obstante, se debe considerar que la acción benéfica de la levadura difiere por el pH, temperatura de extracción, composición nutricional, cepa utilizada, dosis, concentración, modo de empleo y por la diversidad de dietas ofrecidas a los animales. Los resultados obtenidos en investigaciones recientes conllevan a concluir que, el uso de Saccharomyces cerevisiae como aditivo en la alimentación animal puede sustituir a los antibióticos promotores de crecimiento, logrando similares resultados a los APC, sin dejar residuos en los productos y subproductos de los animales que resulten perjudiciales al consumidor.
